Minimizes risk of probes being late when using TaskQueuePacedSender.

The time precision of delayed tasks is one millisecond, so the
TaskQueuePacedSender makes sure that is the minimum sleep time, and
then allows sending prior data as if it was on time.

Furthermore, if there already exists a pending task within 1ms of a
new desired process time - we don't schedule a new one with the same
motivation as above.

These two facts clashes somewhat with how BitrateProber works, and
especially if they coincide it can result in scheduled ProcessPackets()
that is 2ms late. The default timeout set in BitrateProber is 3ms, so
there is a higher risk of probes timing out.

This CL changes the TaskQueuePacedSender to allow scheduling a
ProcesPackets() call as soon as possible if we are probing - even if
that means executing up to 1ms earlier than expected (the BitrateProber
will compensate for that). The PacingController is updated in order to
allow early execution in this one case.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.
